Role To Play


If you had to choose between which act would be 
most pleasing - like selecting the new refrigerator, 
a french-door four-opening, with 3 separate temp-
managed compartments, or mission to pick herbs 
from resurgent growth of our parsley patch, I’d be 
hard pressed to interact with savoir faire; scent of 
fresh parsley bears such witness, & yet the fridge 
has a presence you can hardly ignore - it’s there 

Like a philanthropic sentinel, guarding the freshly 
gathered vegetables with a benign conscience as 
eruditely clear as the parsley’s scented; so where 
does one draw the line for a good choice - some-
where in th’ middle would appear ok, as if a need 
to voice the so-called dilemma's a role to play …
